doing. I know lots of kernel work has gone on for ACPI. Unfortunately my laptop is also running custom compiled KDE and Gnome and loads of updated software for both systems. I would like to have some of the power management and suspend/hibernate functionality, but I'm getting along pretty well right now without it. A battery level warning sure would be nice though, and even 2.4 doesn't seem to provide updated information after getting the first reading on startup.
I'll be anxiously awating word of how good the ACPI support is.
I just installed 9.1 on a HP ze4600 and the battery level is working fine. The one time I let the battery get low a warning popped up and I was able to plug the charger in and keep going. Rich
